She seeks to treat the body and person as a whole and prioritizes building relationships to develop a unique plan of care for each patient.

Alicia is certified by the Postural Restoration Institute, which seeks to understand the primary factors of postural adaptations, patterns, and kinematic movement dysfunction.

Alicia has continued her education to include pelvic floor health, as well as prenatal and postpartum health.
